Murder on the Menu by Fiona Leitch- cozy crime
The first book in a NEW cosy mystery series! Jodie was in the police before she
became a single Mum. Her love of food led her to catering and when an old
school friend says that their caterer for his wedding has let them down- this
could be the break she is looking for. The day before the wedding there is
an argument between the Mrs to be and the Mrs that was (the ex) of the
groom Tony. On the morning of the wedding one is missing and one is found
dead. DCI Withers appears on the scene and realises that Jodie wasn't
called “nosy” at school for nothing. She is determined that Tony is innocent
despite being the most likely suspect and sets out to find evidence to
prove this, something Withers doesn't first appear to care about. I really
enjoyed this- I found myself smiling at Jodie and her tenacity and zest for
the truth and life. It's a lovely easy read to curl up in front of the fire with
Nothing off putting, some wonderful characters and a well thought out
plot to keep you guessing and plenty of smiles along the way. There is
even a recipe at the end. I very much look forward to the next book as
I'm sure Jodie won’t just be cooking in the future.
